I have shot over 700 diablo paintballs with this barrel. None broke (lucky, i didnt have a squeege)

12" is pretty good for me.

Very Quiet

The barrel looks slick

Weaknesses:

Dont use cheep paintballs (even tho it might be the gun that breaks it first)
If it only was a little bit louder :-) (i like to have a loud barrel so It gives the opponets a chance to give up before i get them, hehe)

Conclusion:

I have shot over 1,400 paintballs with this barrel.
800 diablo- None broke
100 Viewloader- 5 broke (chain reaction)
400 Brass Eagle- Only a few made it to the back of my fence. Used atlest 400 and shot the rest away.

man this barrel kicks the shizznick theres nothing wrong with it at all. I got it with my intuder a little while ago and man does it ever compete with the big boys! Like i play wit lotsa people in outdoor and indoor fields and never did i see anyone with a big or more expencive gun ever get an unfair advantage over me so yeh its greeat

Weaknesses:

its a bit loud but so are the best of women too ; )

Conclusion:

to conclude... throw you other barrel in the can and get this one and get an intruder while your at it

It is a large bore barrel and the paint sold at my field is mediun/small bore, so it doesn't work as well as it could, but it does shoot the larger cheaper paints decently.
The chrome finish comes off very easily
Long range accuracy is downright sad
It is loud.

Conclusion:

Don't waste your money on one of these. A good CP barrel is quieter, cheaper, more accurate and gives you a choice of legnths and bore sizes. I would not reccomend this barrel to anybody.

Great Barrel , looks alot like a CP one piece. Performs like a CP one Piece.

Accurrate at mid ranges , very accurate at close speedball games.

Weaknesses:

It's loud, but all open bolt blow-back semi's are.

Conclusion:

I purchased 2 Ras Intruder ATX's and the stock barrel was a Slapstick. I have never seen a open blow back semi preform so well out of the box. For fun i tryed the barrel on other "spyder" like markers and the accuracy went up 3 fold..

If you are just getting into the sport and want a good marker with a great barrel. Don't get caught up in the "Kingman" hype, Ready Aim Splat (RAS) has alot to offer in the paintball industry.

I'm giving it a 9 because it is Very good and not the Best Ever.. 10 is a perfect score.. there are always flaws in every thing.

just got this gun on saturday and what a difference it makes. i'm using a sharidan with only a 8inch barrel and its amazing to see the balls go straight and consitant. and the price doesn't hurt that much either =)

Weaknesses:

little on the loud side
so beautiful you don't want to see it scratched =)

Conclusion:

This is definatly worth the price and then some, i'm using diablo blaze paint and shot about 3000 rounds with out seeing a single break. It fits my sharidan like a glove making it a menece and feared by my friends (just play in local woods)
much better then the 8inch stock that i got with the gun and i'd shell out the money again to replace it.
if you looking for a decent barrel that shoots straight and consistant go pick this up, you won't be sorry.

I have the 12" silver barrel and it works great. I got it with my Ras Intruder Atx. My Intruder kicked the crap out of my friends m98 and my other friends F-4 Illustrator in an accuracy test. The balls were going perfectly strait and it works great.

Weaknesses:

It is a bit loud but that is because all the the holes are at the end of the barrel in the muzzle, or whatever that is called.lol

Conclusion:

This barrel is great and comes with a Ras Intruder Atx right when you buy it. You don't need to upgrade it or anything. Great barrel.
